Making Money From The Internet With A Virtual Real Estate Empire

If you’re looking for alternative ways to make money online, because you: 1) need more money. 2) just lost your job (or simply don’t like your current job) 3) are wandering “what can high school dropouts do”, etc. then the internet is a great place to make more money and many are doing it by building virtual real estate empires online.

Virtual real estate empires, or VRE’s, are websites that are built for one purpose: to invite traffic and, ultimately, to sell ad space, which will then bring you a profit. Some people are taking that one website and turning it into many websites, which means they are making even more money. The best part is that they don’t have to do a thing other then promoting these sites by building links etc. Just by having the website accessible, and by driving traffic to that site by writing articles on a specific subject, or anything else people will search for, they are making great money with very little work. You simply post a website, write the articles, and wait for people to visit. What could be easier than that?

Choose Your Niche

In order to build a virtual real estate empire online, you must choose a market. This is the subject matter your articles will discuss. This can include anything from your favorite hobby, your favorite sport, your favorite cooking recipes, or anything else that comes to mind. The niche should be something that others will search for. If the niche is popular enough, then search engines will include your site in their searches, driving more and more traffic to your site.

How You Make Money

The goal of building your virtual real estate empire online is to make money and you do that by including selling ad space on your site. Ad services, such as those provided by Google and others, pay you every time someone clicks on the ad on your site. So, if your site gets enough traffic, you can get paid very handsomely just by having your site up and running. It’s an easy way to make money and all it requires is for you to post the articles.

Your Virtual Empire

The more websites you build, the more your virtual real estate empire will grow online. You can even include links to all your other websites on your original website, which will increase your revenue and will also increase the chances that your website, or websites, will be listed higher on search engines. If you want to make money on the internet, and you’re looking for a way that’s easy and fun, then a virtual real estate empire online is the best way to go about it.

Affiliate Marketing Secret Live!

Affiliate Marketing Secrets

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are

1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
2. You’ll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
2. One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically - you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.
